I found a few photo scans on my computer and figured I’d add a few more photos here…

This really is one of the finest Threads I have read on ST.

These shots of our beloved SR are from a trip in the "Year of the Flood", sometimes in the late 90s(?) to duplicate the famous Adams shot of the NW Face.

Man what a thread!

Looks like good times were mandatory.

What about Klaus and the battle of the bushes fall....then sending! Sick.

Bosque told me about the route he did with Warren. He said it was ominous, and that it was a great adventure.

He said Warren had it all dialed. Some good stories came from that FA.

Keep up the great pix!

Mucci,

Any way we can get the Bosque stories added here?

I'll see him before the holiday, maybe some pictures are floating around?

He is very humble and one of the most genuine individuals I have ever met.

It would be great if I can get him to post up, not likely though.

Oh and "Porcelain BUMP"

By far one of Supertopos finest threads. Great photos and well written Minerals, thanks for sharing !

This is documentary movie grade material.

So, the Porcelain Pup, anyone ever hike up for that one? I spotted the obvious J-shaped crack once, from Mirror Lake. Then I couldn't ever find it again.

You got it right Klaus, I'm working on the topo.

I got a feeling that Eric told Bryan to draw that yellow line cause he wanted to save those splitter cracks it angles to, and go back and finish where he had recon-ed via that way. Some nice mellow climbing there for that wall. A lot of blank/choss too.

I picked up a shop copy of Rock and Ice #7 over at Marmot as they liquidate to the studs and there's a great interview with Harding by Neal Kaptain that discusses the Porcelain Wall. I'll have it up this weekend unless someone beats me to the punch. Hang tight.
